Want to turn a house into a home? Here’s how

A house is more than a stack of bricks and
mortar. With the right love and care (and building credentials), you could turn
that amorphous mass of rooms into something more concrete (if you’ll pardon the
pun) – you could turn it into a home.

The ideal renovations aid practicality and
interior design. Like the scales of justice, striking that balance will make
your home impress everyone who steps through your threshold.

But what should you do to enjoy style that
will make a perfect house AND home?

The
ideal view

Your windows are grubbier than a grumbling
pervert and more rickety than a deckchair made from matchsticks. Yet a lot of
us will try to ignore these dodgy panes – but in doing so we’re drawing the curtains
over a ton of design possibilities.

When you team up with a top class provider,
you’ll have the choice between a vast range of window frames. Structurally, slidingsash windows offer the best designs and flexibility, all with a sleek look
that will fit neatly within any home.

But that’s only one option of many. Make
the right decision and you’ll have a clean and clear viewall time.

Lofty
ideas

An unused attic is a horror movie waiting
to happen – must and dust and mouldy boxes, some of which contain creepy
Victorian-era dolls and eerie sounding music boxes. Mix that with a few
cobwebs, and you’d half expect Jason Voorhees to pop out of one of those boxes and
embark on a spree.

So it’s time to put that loft to some good
use, by converting it
into a spare room.

A loft conversion will add thousands to the
value of your property, and can be a great way to add some life to your home.
After all, just consider the possibilities – your new room could be for music,
games, your new big-screen telly or even just a chill out zone to help you kick
back and relax.

Moreover, a conversion will add a whole new
level of insulation into your home. So what are you waiting for?

Gardens
with grandeur

You don’t so much have a garden as a patch
of dirt behind your house. Well, it’s time for all that to change.

Now that summer’s in full swing, head into
that garden and spruce it up. Mow your lawn and plant some flowers for minimal
pizzazz.

But if you fancy something a little more
elaborate, add a focalpoint to your garden, such as a water feature or gazebo. The extra effort
will make your garden a pleasure to spend some time in. And who knows – tending
to your new space might even give you the perfect hobby.
